This software is not famous to the degree it would be found in an encyclopedia. disclaimer: I have used this software. [[User:AMFMUHFVHF90922|AMFMUHFVHF90922]] ([[User talk:AMFMUHFVHF90922|talk]]) 06:35, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

*'''Keep''' - PCManFM is the standard file manager for [[LXDE]], like [[Konqueror]] / [[Dolphin_(software)]] is the standard file manager for [[KDE]], or [[Thunar]] for [[Xfce]], or [[Nautilus_(file_manager)|Nautilus]] for [[GNOME]] and so on. I don't see a valid reason for AfD. [[User:Toffanin|Toffanin]] ([[User talk:Toffanin|talk]]) 11:27, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

*'''Keep''' Fame isn't required for inclusion in Wikipedia, and it isn't a valid reason for deletion. I've added a couple of references to reviews by Linux Today and Unixmen to the article to help establish notability of the topic. With no valid criterion for deletion and with likely notability, I recommend keeping the article. --[[User:Mark viking|Mark viking]] ([[User talk:Mark viking|talk]]) 12:55, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

* I am not going to argue with you, but a review from a blog called "Unixmen" typically does not warrant automatic entry to an encyclopedia. I will go further and say we should probably not have Wikipedia articles every time the Unixmen blog writes about a product.

:: I think that is a fair criticism. In the technology media there are a number of websites that I like to call "journalistic"; they are more than some random person's blog but less than a professional news outfit. I think Unixmen fits into that category of marginally reliable sources, in the form of a blog with a wide readership, but it is obviously a gray area and a somewhat subjective assessment on my part. --[[User:Mark viking|Mark viking]] ([[User talk:Mark viking|talk]]) 21:06, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
